Ditto! I think for the difference in spool (not noticeable) the Un-Equal headers are much more apealing. I drive EL's all day and they drone soo bad. I'd love to hear a boxer grumble when I cruise out of a light.

unequal for sound, equal for more...i dunno how much more. because with unequal length tomei header, and up/down/catback, i gained around 30ft/lb of torque after ecutek reflash

I hate it when people use the word "around or roughly" when talking about dyno numbers, that really shows they have no idea what it is exactly.

that's because
a)every pull is different.
b)i didn't go on a dyno run stock, then only with an aftermarket header. I did it from stock, then the listed mods after. so after a few pulls, it was AROUND 30ft/lb

happy?

^^^that or it was like 29lbtq or 31 and they just wanna say 30 for an even number.
dumb ***. it means not a ****ing thing but what you want it to because of some pet peeve. (not meant at you ian but the poster before you)


maybe i missed it in the op, but i didn't see him mention year or displacement or see anyone ask, just people throwing out opinions, this is what kills me about iclub, give opinions first, ask for the details second. that MATTERS people. headers can kill the torque on a 2.0L if done wrong. everything i have heard from tuners is to stay away from equal length on the 2.0L and ive seen people lose torque on dyno sheets from them but gain bigger topend.

let's ask the details then give suggestions.. might make you more reputable.

so you went from stock to stage 2 basically and you think the 30tq was only from the header. come on man.

i never said the 30ft/lb of torque was from the header. i even stated that the torque i gained was with all the mods combined and a reflash. i just stated what my numbers were when mike tuned my car at 3 years ago.

Well what I find kinda odd is that above you say you gained 30tq from the mods listed above which is supposed to be the same mods in the link you provided from when it was tuned. Now in the link you say its a ported exhaust manifold not a aftermarket tomei. So one would assume that you added the tomei after the car was tuned and you haven't been back for a new tune for the recently added parts.
